Mm.

How did that experience impact your practice-

Mm

... as both, you know, a researcher and a curator, uh, or your outlook on creativity?

It was a different role.

Mm.

So I was the head of the department, so...

But it's a collegial environment.

It's not a, like, a corporate context where you are the boss, right? Yeah.

So it's, uh, a collegial environment.
